Take Over — Ella Otomewo

Selection of images from Take Over, a project by performance poet Ella Otomewo commissioned by Heart of Glass.

Based in The Book Stop, Ella spent a week writing a poem for St Helens, shaped by conversations with local people. The selected images capture moments of process.
